Aerogel fibers have exhibited crucial application prospects in wearable heat-insulated fabrics. However, developing aerogel fibers with robust mechanical performance and high flexibility remains challenging due to their inherent fragility caused by high porosity. Herein, aramid nanofibers (ANF) reinforced polyimide (PI) aerogel fibers (ANF/PIAFs) are presented with tunable in situ core-sheath structure for super-flexible and super-toughness wearable heat-insulated fabrics by a novel two-step (2Step) phase separation strategy. The results demonstrate that the formation of sheath thickness and pore morphology of aerogel fibers can be tuned by the phase separation steps. Attributed to the core-sheath structure and the entanglement of chains with the introduction of ANF nanofibers, the tough and flexible ANF/PIAFs demonstrate improved tensile modulus (748.53 MPa), tensile strength (51.94 MPa) and fracture energy (18.28 MJ/m3) by 2.5 times, 11.5 times, and 288.2 times compared with the unprocessed PI aerogel fibers. Moreover, the addition of ANF effectively inhibits the shrinkage of aerogel fibers, which maintains the high thermal insulation ability (0.034 W/(m·K)). The strategy outlined in this study introduces a novel and universal method for fabricating aerogel fibers with a core-sheath structure using the improved phase separation technique, demonstrating the promising potential for applications in flexible thermal-insulated fabrics.

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are able to promote vulcanization and improve mechanical properties of rubber nanocomposites. Investigated are rheological and thermo-oxidative aging behaviors of carbon black (CB) filled natural rubber (NR) nanocomposites mediated by a developed DES, revealing that the presence of DES could significantly promote vulcanization of NR and dispersibility of CB, the latter being related to polar interactions between DES and CB. DES interferes with the Payne effect by improving the onset strain amplitude and weakening the storage modulus decay and the loss modulus overshoot in the nonlinear viscoelasticity region without influencing mechanisms of Mullins effect during cyclic uniaxial tension at large strains. During long-term thermo-oxidative aging, DES influences the evolutions of mechanical properties and Mullins effect depending on the composition. This work is helpful for mediating the CB dispersity, NR crosslinking, strain softening and thermal-oxidative aging behavior of NR nanocomposites for design and manufacture of high-performance products.

Under impact loading, Al/PTFE reactive materials demonstrate notable strain rate sensitivity and impact-induced ignition. To investigate the influence of impact velocity, Al/PTFE composites (26.5 %/73.5 %) with 35 μm Al particles were synthesized and subjected to quasi-static and dynamic compression experiments. Results revealed a bilinear logarithmic relationship between stress and strain rate. A two-stage simplified Johnson-Cook (JC) model was calibrated to determine its mechanical properties and the parameters were validated by numerical simulations matching the experimental results. Extended simulations analyzed a wide range of strain rate sensitivities and established a dynamic increase factor (DIF) formulation that accurately describes the dynamic mechanical response of the material. These findings provide a robust basis for material selection and performance prediction, supported by comparisons with existing literature.

Tackling the intractable contradiction of interfacial strength-toughness is critical. Herein, shell nacre-mimetic coating composed of carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced polyether amine (PEA)-polydopamine (PDA) and PDA functionalized graphene oxide (GO@PDA) was self-assembled around carbon fiber via a facile, green, low-cost but effective technique of vacuum filtration to fulfill the amplification of synergy effects of GO and CNTs under the constraint of delicate layered architecture. Contents of CNTs and GO@PDA were compared to optimize the performances. When 0.2 g GO@PDA and 5 ml CNTs were added, amazing growths in interfacial shear strength and fracture toughness of 114.2 % and 348.7 % were achieved, relative to untreated fiber composites. Increase in interfacial adhesion is associated with synergistic interactions of covalent and hydrogen bonds, π-π stacking along with mechanical pinning at interphase, while advance in interfacial toughness assigns with crack propagation, stretching deformation, and breakage of hydrogen bridge and π-π interaction that dissipate energy.

Construction of microwave-absorbing materials adapted to marine application scenarios remain a challenge. Herein, environmentally stable CoxNiy@C absorbers are fabricated. The CoNi-C heterogeneous interface in these absorbers induces a more inhomogeneous space charge distribution than Co-C and Ni-C interfaces, contributing to strong hetero-interfacial polarization and thereby improving microwave absorption performance. The C2 absorber demonstrated an EAB of 5.68 GHz, covering the entire Ku-band at a thickness of 1.98 mm. Additionally, simulations revealed an excellent radar stealth effect in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mode. The 3D graphite skeleton of the absorber can extend the diffusion path of corrosive media and facilitate bacterial deposition, producing synergistic anti-corrosion and antibacterial effects. After immersion in a 3.5 % NaCl solution for 47 days, the |Z|0.01Hz value of polyurethane (PU)/C2 coating remained at 6.32 × 108 Ω cm2, indicating superior anticorrosion characteristics. The antibacterial rates of C2 reached 99.77 % against Escherichia coli and 99.11 % against Staphylococcus aureus. This work offers fresh concepts for the development of next-generation multifunctional microwave absorbents.

In-situ consolidated thermoplastic composites using automated fibre placement (AFP) experience highly localised and transient heating and cooling cycles during the process. Hence, the in-situ consolidation process can lead to significant fluctuations in polymer properties across the full part volume. The fluctuation in properties is primarily due to variations in cooling rates during the melting process and the number of high-temperature cycles experienced at each point. This paper presents the first study investigating the localised ply-wise crystalline properties of a Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) polymer matrix in a hot gas torch assisted in-situ consolidated carbon fibre PEEK composite with varying processing parameters using wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) conducted on SAXS/WAXS beamline. The results demonstrate that crystallinity, and crystal orientation fraction exhibit ply-wise. However, maximum tool surface heating achieves a more uniform morphology. By integrating both orientation and crystallinity, a comprehensive strategy for optimising the mechanical performance of polymer materials can be developed.

Traditional manufacturing methods for high-performance fibre-reinforced plastics are often energy intensive and therefore unviable in achieving the sustainable development of the field. With advanced composites extensively used in aerospace, automotive, and renewable energy sectors, there is an urgent need to rethink manufacturing processes to meet sustainability targets and reduce energy consumption. Conventional methods such as autoclave curing and resin transfer moulding are often constrained by energy inefficiency, chamber size limitations, and high capital costs, inevitably hindering progress toward clean growth in composites. This paper provides a state-of-the-art review of the energy-efficient curing methods for continuous fibre-reinforced composites, from direct electric heating of carbon fibres and nanocomposites, induction heating, microwave heating, to frontal polymerisations, with a full coverage on curing mechanisms, requirements of materials, and energy efficiency and consumptions of each method. A detailed comparison of these curing methods with a forward looking perspective is also included, providing a guideline for adopting energy-efficient composite manufacturing methods across various applications.

Constructing efficient and multifunctional integrated electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials is an effective strategy to address the complex electromagnetic environments. Herein, the ZIF-67@CNT with multidimensional heterogeneous structure were designed and embedded into the polyimide (PI) skeleton to obtain the Co@CNT carbon foams (Co@CNT/CF) by high-temperature annealing. The microstructure, electromagnetic parameters of Co@CNT/CF can be tailored by adjusting the size and the loading of ZIF-67@CNT. The Co@CNT/CF demonstrated a minimum reflection loss of −61.7 dB at 7.3 mm and an effective absorption bandwidth of up to 10.36 GHz at 5.8 mm, covering the entire X and Ku bands. The radar cross section (RCS) distribution indicated that Co@CNT/CF exhibited excellent RCS attenuation capability with the maximum value of 17.1 dB m2. Further exploration demonstrated that Co@CNT/CF displayed excellent mechanical properties, flame-retardant and thermal insulation performance, which provides a research strategy for the design of multifunctional EMW absorbing materials in extreme environments.

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites that possess both electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and thermal conductivity (TC) performances, along with high mechanical strength, are ideal for applications in aerospace and semiconductor industries. In this work, we have successfully integrated a MoS2 nanosheet/CF network into a structure-functional composite. The interconnection of nanosheets with the resin forms a mechanical interlock, thereby enhancing the interfacial performance of the composite and optimizing its structure, resulting in a 54.64 % increase in interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) to 91.16 MPa. The composite also demonstrates excellent multifunctionality. The high thermal and electrical conductivity of MoS2 enables the CFs to facilitate the effective transfer of electrons and phonons within the matrix, resulting in a 68.52 % increase in TC. Additionally, the optimized interfacial bonding, along with the synergistic effect of good interfacial polarization and conduction losses, leads to a 53.8 % improvement in EMI shielding performance. Furthermore, the MoS2 nanosheet/CF network demonstrates superior electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption performance, achieving a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of −52.74 dB at a thickness of 1.3 mm and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 3.92 GHz at 1.2 mm. This approach provides an effective pathway for realizing structure-functional integrated composites.

Rigid polyurethane foams (RPUFs) are widely used for their excellent performance but are limited by their flammability. Flame-retardant coatings are an effective solution to address this issue without compromising their mechanical properties. Herein, flame-retardant copolymer poly(HBA-co-VBS) is synthesized via radical copolymerization of hydroxybutyl acrylate (HBA) and sodium 4-vinylbenzenesulfinate (VBS). A series of transition metal oxide-loaded halloysite nanotubes (Mo-HNTs, Co-HNTs) and hexagonal boron nitride (Mo-BN, Co-BN) are synthesized via impregnation method to prepare organic–inorganic hybrid flame-retardant coatings. The coated RPUFs reach V-0 rating in the UL-94 test with higher LOI over 31 %. Co-HNTs sample exhibits the best flame-retardant performance with the lowest PHRR (142.5 kW m−2) and lowest THR (49.9 MJ m−2). Inorganic nanoparticles reduce toxic gas emissions, especially CO emission, due to the catalysis effect of Mo and Co. This research provides a novel approach to design high-performance flame-retardant coatings.
